Swimming is part of our life since the beginning: we are formed in the mother’s womb, which is an aquatic environment. It’s been proved that a newborn is at ease in water and knows how to move. As we grow up, if we do not keep training, we lose such skills.

We learn to swim again in pools, but when it comes to river we need to start a new chapter of training.

The course has the goal to form participants in order to be able to swim in whitewater, with the correct swimming techniques and the various styles for this environment. It is required to be at ease with water and to be healthy. There will be parts of theoretical lesson, practical simulations, hydrodynamics, risks.
